Jumping on this trend from .now with my own little twist ⭐️

Sometimes I forget how many brands I’ve had the privilege of being a small part of over the years until I put a small selection of them together like this.

Different industries. Different personalities. Different stories.

But the goal has always stayed the same:

Creating branding that feels intentional, memorable, and actually reflects the business behind it.

(Also slightly emotional seeing my own logo from 2016 sitting amongst all of these too 🥲)

Seeing work from 2020 sitting alongside work from 2025 is honestly really special 🫶🏽

We have standards in every area of our lives.

Quality. Effort. Longevity.

But when it comes to our business…
Suddenly “good enough” feels acceptable.

Your brand deserves better than that.

Ready to raise your standards? 👀

One Direction went on hiatus.

But unlike them, I actually came back.

May is now fully booked (🥲 thank you!), so June books are officially open – with only 2 spots available.

If you’ve been sitting on a rebrand or waiting for the “right time”… this might just be your sign.

Maybe I’m perfect for you 🫶🏽

Designers don’t just find colour palettes on Pinterest…

We find them EVERYWHERE!

Sometimes it’s a wall of wooden clogs in the Netherlands. 🇳🇱
Sometimes it’s a vintage chocolate display in a Swiss Chocolate Museum. 🍫
Sometimes it’s just a random moment in your camera roll. 💐

When you start looking at the world like a designer, you notice colour differently. You see how tones sit next to each other, how contrast works, how unexpected combinations can create a beautiful palette.

Pinterest is great for inspiration, but the real world is better.

Save your favourite palette for later for a brand refresh, moodboard, or creative project, and let me know in the comments which one stood out the most.

If you enjoyed this little colour study from my camera roll, I might turn this into a series 👀

Just some pics from my camera roll 📸

I’ve been home for a month now and while I have not missed the negative Celsius degrees everyday, I do miss the art, architecture, cool museums, and the fashion.

(Pics taken on my iPhone 15, and occasionally the iPhone 17 Pro, when I “borrowed” it off my brother. No colour edits, just the pics as they are!)

A little life update 🤍

The last few months, I’ve been quietly juggling a part-time design agency role, two businesses, and wedding planning - and truthfully, it’s been a lot.

As my big day draws nearer, I’ve decided to take a gentle step back from Melissa Gouw Designs until May 2026, giving myself the space to protect my energy, and not lose the joy in what I do.

This isn’t the end - just a pause while I rebalance, recharge, and also not turn into bridezilla 🙈

I won’t be taking on new client projects during this time, but you’re always welcome to reach out if you’d like to connect about future work.

I’ll still be around here and there, sharing when I feel called to (and definitely popping up on Stories).

Thank you for being here, for your patience, and for allowing this season to look a little slower.

It truly means more than you know 🤍

Merry Christmas! 🎄

I’m currently gallivanting through Europe and Christmas-hopping from city to city in the best way possible — with a mulled wine in hand 🍷

It’s wild to think I’m freezing my butt off in –2 degrees 🥶 while back home in Perth it’s a toasty 41 degrees 🥵 Talk about one extreme to the other!

I’m so grateful for another year of creating, connecting, and building brands with some seriously incredible humans. Thank YOU to every client, collaborator, follower, and supporter who’s been a part of Melissa Gouw Designs in 2025. I truly can’t do what I do without you 🫶🏽

So with that, I wish you and your loved ones a safe and joyful festive season filled with incredible food, beautiful memories, and plenty of rest.

See you in the new year refreshed and ready for more magic ✨
